Using material derived from an empirical study in the London area of 58 parents whose children have cerebral palsy, this article examines the role and tasks of professional social workers. The subject is approached both from the perspectives of local authority social workers and those of parents. The findings that social workers feel restricted by community care responsibilities and by shortage of resources, and that parents are hostile and adversarial in their approach to them, echo the most recent reports from the Social Services Inspectorate. Argues for improving the training of social workers and for recognising that community are involves more than organisational responses.
